dowels through shutters
dowels through shutters
(OP)
Hi,
I have 2 perpendicular walls which for some reason cannot be cast simultaneously and according to design drawings the connection between he two walls is a stiff connection, thus dowels must pass through shutters is there any way to do this (other than couplers)? with considering a dowel every 10 cm(I prefer not to drill the shutters). looking forward to hear your thoughts..
many thanks

my case is how to access T16 dowels @150 mm from the pit side to the core leg. the pit side will be executed before the core leg.(without interrupting the shutters if possible )

Or you drill your shutters (formwork).
Or you post-install adhesive dowels which aren't as reliable.

Don't worry about subcontractors nagging, just pull them into line. Isn't that your job?
RE: dowels through shutters
Actually what I worry about is to keep smooth relationship with subcontractors, and if I can find alternatives to reduce there work load and gain time, that would be an advantage for me and might be usefull later on.
